IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using the cooktop

Make sure the drip bowls are in place during cooking. Cooking without drip bowls could subject the wiring and components underneath them to damage.

Do not line drip bowls with aluminum foil or other liners. Improper installation of these liners could result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.

Select a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the heating element will be exposed and could result in the igniting of clothing or pot holders. Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency.

Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook- tops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Never leave surface units unat- tended at high heat settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that could ignite.

Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units.

This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.

Grease

Grease is flammable. Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop. Wipe spillovers immediately.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on range by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extin- guished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

Do not soak removable heat- ing elements in water. The element will be damaged and shock or fire could result.

Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servic- ing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Disconnect the electrical sup- ply before servicing the cook- top.
